You might be interested in knowing that someone attempted to burn Beauvoir, last home of Jefferson Davis, on the beach at Biloxi, MS. The story is in today's sunherald.com on the web. I'm thinking that they probably wanted the destruction to occur around Confederate Memorial Day as an anti-tribute.

Fortunately, a young firefighter was passing and put the fire out.

"A firefighter who was driving on Beach Boulevard at daybreak Saturday is credited with saving the historic home when he spotted smoke. Investigators suspect arson in the fire that scorched doors on the newly renovated front porch. Had his quick action not prevented the fire's spread, the indoor sprinkler system would have gone off, causing another set of problems."
